Although it's been around 8 or 9 months without releasing a Hackintosh video I've been busy in the works.
Hi all I am new to Mac, I intalled Mac OSX 10.8.2 (iATKos ML) on my Laptop few days back and its running fine. After searching a bit, I came to know about this website and would like to thank Niresh for making Mac installation possible on AMDs. I have a AMD FX 8120 with GA 970A-DS3 and HD7850. I am trying to install Mac on this system. I made the bootable pendrive using dd, also followed I setup the bios properly as said in guide. Sata contoller mode in on AHCI. I used the amdfx -v tag and it boots up and i formatted the whole disk for the Mac using disk uitlity.

After that the Mac installation starts (with 24 minutes remaining). After few minutes i get the error with yellow icon on screen saying installation failed. Please help me fix this, I will be very grateful. Thanks in Advance. Maybe i'm too late to respond but try this.
Start over, and try this: amdfx GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=1 -v I was able to get through the install with those tags, just make sure under 'Customize' while your drive is selected, you disable GraphicsEnabler Then on your first boot, make sure to use 'Kernel Cache'=amd GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=1 -v (mind the spaces) On another note: I am getting really bad interference on any driver i use for Audio. I actually think it may have done damage to my speakers. I tried using a different pair, sound is still distorted with tons of noise.
